Message from the President
Dear MMA Praxis Shareholder:
After an uninspired first quarter, stocks around the world surged in the second quarter. Domestically, larger companies outperformed smaller ones, and growth stocks are now ahead of value stocks for the year-to-date. International stocks had another strong quarter and out-returned the U.S. market again. The overall U.S. stock market was up a bit over 7 percent for the first half, while international stocks gained almost 12 percent. The broad bond market has been weak in 2007, gaining less than 1 percent. The following chart highlights the six-month performance of major market indexes:

The current market environment is interesting. In every economic cycle there are points where market indicators are particularly confusing. During times like these, investors who try to read the economic tea leaves can be easily whipsawed. So far, 2007 seems like one of these types of market environments as investors vacillated between fears of economic weakness (driven by the housing market) and strength (driven by the private equity buyout boom and a strong global economy). At MMA, our portfolio managers have been reading and hearing an unusually wide variety of opinions and concerns in recent months from both investment professionals and everyday investors. Headline news, such as the battering taken by several hedge funds as sub-prime mortgage debt was marked down, can create a powerful urge in investors to react and “do something.” In our experience, however, succumbing to this temptation rarely adds value. As stated many times in previous letters to MMA Praxis shareholders, we encourage our investors to establish an asset allocation strategy that is consistent with one’s risk tolerance, investment objectives, and time horizon, and stay the course with periodic rebalancing back to the strategic asset percentages.
Portfolio performance
MMA Praxis Intermediate Income Fund
With the Lehman Aggregate Bond Index yielding about 5.7 percent (as of mid-July), intermediate-term investment-grade bond yields are about average relative to their history, and real yields are also about average (T-Bill real yields are actually above average). However, reported inflation has been heavily influenced by the recent volatility in oil prices, so real yields based on reported inflation can be equally volatile. Underlying core inflation is higher than reported inflation, but even by this measure, real yields are in a fair-value range. In looking at potential expected returns from intermediate-term corporate bonds, one could easily make a case that total returns are likely to fall in a 4-6 percent range on average over the next few years, which is in line with their long-term historical average. While some investors may be inclined to look to other asset classes for potential higher returns, the astute investor recognizes the important role bonds can play by insuring portfolios against economic shocks. Although the economy appears to be doing well, there are clearly structural, macro-level, and geopolitical risks. Given this background, bonds should continue to be useful as a portfolio diversifier.

Table of Contents
The Class A Share (NAV) posted a small gain of 0.57 percent for the first six months of 2007. These returns lagged the benchmark established for the Income Fund (Lehman Aggregate Bond Index), which returned 0.98 percent over the same time. For an in-depth analysis of this Fund’s strategy, please read the co-portfolio managers’ commentary found later in this report.
MMA Praxis Core Stock Fund
From November 1999 through February of this year, large-caps (Standard & Poor 500) had a total cumulative return of only 9.6 percent (1.5 percent annualized) compared to 72.7 percent (9 percent annualized) for small-cap stocks (Russell 2000 Index). Using historical valuation metrics, this sizable performance discrepancy leaves large-cap stocks bargain-priced compared to stocks of smaller companies. Additionally, stocks of larger companies tend to do better when the U.S. dollar is weak (foreign earnings are worth more when converted back to U.S. dollars and U.S. exports become more competitive), which is partly why mega-cap stocks are now experiencing stronger earnings growth than smaller companies. Very large company stocks also tend to perform much better than small-caps late in the economic cycle. We may or may not be late in this cycle, but nearly all economists would agree that we are clearly past the early stage.
A reasonable question to ask is whether large-cap stocks are cheap on an absolute basis, or only a “less-pricey segment” of an overall market that is expensive. Whether the overall market is expensive is a good question, especially after its very strong second quarter. A plausible short answer is that domestic large-caps are reasonably valued and therefore attractive. However, as usual, another argument can be made that there is risk to this view. U.S. corporations have experienced the greatest earnings boom since World War II, thanks partly to profit margins hitting a 40-year high. So, a reasonable question is: While the stock market looks reasonably valued or even undervalued based on earnings, if profit margins were to move back to “normal” levels wouldn’t the overall stock market then be overvalued? While there is no easy answer to this important question, we are of the opinion that profit margins will eventually diminish, as workers ask for a greater piece of the “profit pie.”
For the first six months of 2007, the MMA Praxis Core Stock Fund Class A Share (NAV) returned 4.92 percent. These returns were less than the established benchmark (S&P 500) for the Praxis Core Stock Fund, which returned 6.96 percent. For a detailed explanation of those factors that contributed to the underperformance, please read the portfolio managers’ commentary, found later in this report.
MMA Praxis Value Index Fund
For the first half of 2007, the MMA Praxis Value Index Fund A Shares (NAV) were up 4.57 percent. The benchmark index for this Fund, the MSCI U.S. Prime Market Value Index, gained 6.75 percent. (Note: it is not possible to invest directly in an index, which does not incur expenses like an index fund.). Over the past five years, A Shares have delivered average annualized returns of 11.69 percent. For investors who are looking for large-cap value exposure in their portfolio, and are committed to an investment process that aligns their values with financial decisions, the MMA Praxis Value Index Fund has proven to be a solid investment choice.
MMA Praxis Growth Index Fund
The MMA Praxis Growth Index Fund was introduced on May 1 and was designed to compliment the MMA Praxis Value Index Fund. Both funds are managed by Chad Horning, CFA, who will manage the Growth Index Fund through a passive indexing strategy intended to replicate the performance of large and mid-sized growth stocks. Combining the Value and Growth Index Funds will allow investors to gain broad, low-cost exposure to the U.S. stock market. As with all MMA Praxis Funds, the Growth Index Fund will integrate MMA’s stewardship investing core values. This process includes screening companies based on ethical values, shareholder advocacy to encourage companies to be more responsible businesses and corporate citizens, and community development investing.
Since May 1, the Fund (Class A Share, NAV) has returned 1.70 percent, slightly trailing its benchmark, the MSCI U.S. Prime Growth Index, which generated a return of 2.24 percent for the same brief time.
MMA Praxis International Fund
Foreign stock markets continued to deliver outsized returns relative to their U.S. counterparts during the first half of 2007. This continues a trend that is now more than five years in the running. Global conditions have remained close to ideal for international stocks. Low interest rates worldwide generated a

wave of borrowing and investment. European and Japanese companies continued to restructure, squeezing out larger profits which have helped boost share prices. And emerging markets continued to post very impressive returns for the first half of ’07. Against this backdrop, the MMA Praxis International Fund Class A Share (NAV) returned 9.19 percent. The Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Morgan Stanley EAFE Index, which returned 11.09 percent.
MMA Praxis Small Cap Fund
On May 1, the MMA Praxis Small Cap Fund was added to the MMA Praxis Fund family. This new fund is one of the few socially responsible investment options available for those interested in investing in small companies. After an exhaustive search for a top-tier investment manager for the Fund, Luther King Capital Management, Fort Worth, Texas, was selected. Your Fund’s trustees chose Luther King on the basis of the firm’s outstanding reputation for quality, integrity, and stability, as well as their emphasis on achieving competitive, risk-adjusted returns. Fund managers Luther King and Steven Purvis are core style managers, allowing them to add both value and growth-style stocks to the portfolio. We are pleased to have a firm with the outstanding reputation of Luther King to steward the assets of this new mutual fund.
Since the Fund’s inception on May 1, 2007, an investor in the Class A Share (NAV) would have experienced a return of 2.90 percent, which is better than the 2.57 percent delivered by the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index.
Closing thoughts
The first half of 2007 saw several major developments in MMA’s stewardship investing activities. Please be sure to read Mark Regier’s commentary later in this report for a thorough discussion of these important initiatives.
We remain grateful for the trust and confidence you have demonstrated in MMA Praxis Mutual Funds. We take our stewardship responsibilities seriously and endeavor to generate both financial and social returns on your investments.
Thank you for allowing us to partner with you in meeting your financial planning goals.
Sincerely,
John L. Liechty
President, MMA Praxis Mutual Funds

MMA Praxis Stewardship Investing Report
U.S. shareholder rights threatened
Word has been circulating for several months about potential rule changes at the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that could dramatically alter the rights of shareholders to file advisory resolutions with the U.S. corporations in their portfolios. MMA considers this right of engagement a fundamental part of our practice of stewardship investing.
The SEC will disclose just what, if any, changes will be proposed during its open meeting on July 25. MMA, along with the entire social investment community has been active for weeks, contacting the SEC commissioners, members of Congress, and other institutional investors regarding the significant negative impact we believe such changes could have.
Why is this a big deal for investors? The rule under consideration, 14-a-8 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, governs the ability of shareholders to file advisory (or precatory) resolutions on the annual proxy statements of the corporations of which they are part owners. Over time this has proven to be a relatively efficient, well-governed process facilitating meaningful dialogue between the company and concerned investors. It is a system that safeguards the interests of both investors and corporations to a meaningful degree. Over the past 40 years in particular, this rule has been the basis for transformative engagements yielding dramatic and creative solutions to issues of social, environmental, corporate governance, and financial performance. Unfortunately, there is no guarantee these positive strides would continue to prevail, should this foundational right be lost or substantially weakened.
While one may not agree with the substance of every shareholder resolution (certainly MMA does not), the right of even small investors to file such resolutions is one of the few effective countervailing forces to the dramatic increase in the power and influence of the modern corporation. Rest assured MMA and the MMA Praxis Mutual Funds will be active participants in this debate.
Up-to-date information on the state of the SEC’s proposals and concerned investors’ response can be viewed by visiting the Stewardship Investing section of MMA-online (www.mma-online.org).
Workshop on advocacy with Chinese firms
China has been in the news lately for safety concerns about its products. A variety of food and drug exports have been tainted with toxic substances and even jewelry has been found to contain harmful electronic waste. The rise of China as a global economic superpower has far-reaching implications in the field of corporate social responsibility. Chris Meyer, MMA’s stewardship investing research specialist, recently participated in a workshop that focused on corporate social responsibility in China and the potential of shareholder advocacy with Chinese companies. The workshop was organized in partial response to the negative headlines about Chinese goods. The goal was to try to use the situation as an opportunity to promote social responsibility within a range of Chinese companies.
The workshop provided an overview of Chinese corporate law and served as a primer for possible shareholder engagement with Chinese firms. Shareholder advocacy with Chinese firms remains a difficult and daunting undertaking. Most shares in domestic companies are owned by the Chinese government and shareholders have few legal rights. The concept of corporate social responsibility is also new in China, and interpretations vary. Socially concerned investors have had little engagement in China so far. But they hope to open the door to meaningful advocacy in the coming years as Chinese companies become an ever more important part of global portfolios and a significant influence on the practices of other companies. MMA owns shares of several Chinese companies through the MMA Praxis International Fund. (See the Fund’s commentary in this report for additional details.)
Dell unveils environmental initiative
Dell has officially announced its Zero Carbon Initiative, a series of environmental measures meant to position the company as the greenest technology company on Earth. It will continue to maximize the energy efficiency of Dell products and over time offset their carbon impact. The zero-carbon initiative will also include product lifecycle assessments, management of Dell’s direct and indirect climate impacts, reduction of the company’s carbon intensity, and partnership with customers in reducing waste.

According to CEO Michael Dell, “Dell will do its part to protect the Earth’s climate, from providing energy-efficient IT products to using environmentally responsible practices we hope others will embrace.”
Along with other institutional investors, MMA has been meeting with Dell management on a regular basis for several years, analyzing sustainability reports and encouraging the company to further its social practices. The zero-carbon initiative is a positive result of integrating environmental factors into Dell’s business planning process. MMA holds Dell shares in the MMA Praxis Core Stock Fund. (See the Fund’s commentary in this report for additional details.)
Resolutions filed on executive compensation
The vast majority of Americans—and even institutional money managers—feel executive compensation is out of control. As a possible way to keep executive pay in check, some institutional shareholders have turned to shareholder activism. MMA Praxis co-filed shareholder resolutions at four companies (Procter & Gamble, Sun Microsystems, Sara Lee, and Cisco Systems) in April and May on this issue of executive compensation.
The resolutions call for each firm to grant shareholders an advisory vote on the pay of the company’s top executives. In other words, shareholders would have a say on pay. Company management and the board of directors could then use the results as an owners opinion poll of how well they are handling the issue.
Recently, MMA Praxis and other filers withdrew the Proctor & Gamble resolution in favor of productive dialogue with P&G management. P&G has a Compensation & Leadership Development Committee composed of independent directors, and has a pay model based on company and individual performance. This is a good start, and the filers hope to expand this policy to include shareholder input. A roundtable meeting is scheduled for late July.
Sustainability reporting at national grid
National Grid USA, a subsidiary of National Grid (United Kingdom), is an electric utility specializing in the transmission and distribution of electricity and natural gas with customers primarily in the Northeast. National Grid USA has begun talks with a stakeholder team organized by CERES (Coalition for Environmentally Responsible Economies), over its plans to produce a sustainability report and its overall environmental efforts. MMA Praxis is a member of this stakeholder team.
The first meeting of this dialogue took place in late June and focused on National Grid’s proposed outline for their report. It’s an ambitious undertaking, covering virtually all aspects of National Grid’s environmental and social impact. The stakeholder team provided input on the outline and made suggestions. MMA Praxis is especially concerned about greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and made this clear to company management. Since National Grid delivers electricity and natural gas to customers rather than generating it directly, areas of GHG focus are on pipeline efficiency (up to 25 percent of gas is lost while in the pipe network) and working with consumers to decrease their use of gas and electricity through conservation and efficiency measures.
Wal-Mart update
After years of prodding and shareholder resolutions filed by MMA Praxis and other concerned social investors, Wal-Mart’s long-anticipated, inaugural sustainability report is scheduled for release in late July. The comprehensive social and environmental report will cover areas such as company diversity, supplier factory conditions, and fuel usage and emissions of the company truck fleet.
In April, MMA Praxis participated in a conference call regarding Wal-Mart’s 2006 Ethical Sourcing Report. The report documents the conditions in overseas factories that supply Wal-Mart’s merchandise, as confirmed through factory audits. The results show that although the audit process is evolving in a positive way, significant improvement is needed to bring many factories into compliance with Wal-Mart (and human rights) standards. The Ethical Sourcing Report will be integrated into the sustainability report.
Periodically, MMA Praxis completes an evaluation for continued investment in Wal-Mart. As part of MMA Praxis’ ongoing commitment to informed investment and shareholder activism in the company, this report highlights the progress the retailer has made in six areas of operation. Wal-Mart must show growth or be engaged in positive dialogue in five of these six areas to support MMA’s continued investment. Examples of

topic areas include mitigation of hazardous materials, employee health care, and diversity. The most recent report was assembled in June 2007.
The connection between endowment investments and values
Nonprofit endowments, invested primarily in the stock market, provide charitable foundations with financial returns they use to pursue philanthropic missions. However, foundations don’t necessarily align their asset management with their charitable activities. In early January, the Los Angeles Times published an investigative report detailing perceived contradictions between the mission and the investments of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. This series of articles ignited a heated debate about socially responsible investing (SRI) in the area of endowments that has continued for months.
In response, the SRI industry has stepped up its focus to demonstrate the opportunities available to foundations in aligning their mission and investments. The Social Investment Forum, the social investment industry’s trade association, has published a booklet on the subject titled: The Mission in the Marketplace: How Responsible Investing Can Strengthen the Fiduciary Oversight of Foundation Endowments and Enhance Philanthropic Missions. MMA and the MMA Praxis Mutual Funds have been active in lifting up this conversation, particularly among faith-based charities and institutions. We believe there doesn’t have to be a wall between the investments and mission of foundations. MMA’s Stewardship Investing Manager, Mark Regier, published an article proposing a “Third Way for The Gates Foundation” that is available on the MMA Praxis Web site (www.mmapraxis.com).
OneWorld community investing program launched
Finally, for those who want a way to invest individually in hope by creating economic opportunity throughout the United States and around the world, MMA, with Mennonite Economic Development Associates (MEDA), has launched the OneWorld Community Investment program. There are two components:
mPower—A program to end poverty through international microfinance opportunities that will help the working poor out of poverty through microfinancing. mPower directs investments worldwide.
nSpire—A way to invest in communities in the United States to make them stronger and healthier by financing affordable housing, small businesses, and nonprofit community facilities, thereby creating jobs and new avenues of hope.
The program provides investors the opportunity to purchase a Community Investment Note issued by Calvert Social Investment Foundation for as little as $1,000. For more information, contact your financial advisor or visit the Financial Services pages of www.MMA-online.org.
In Good Faith is a new blog from MMA designed to share some of the joys and trials, challenges and opportunities of the complex task we call stewardship investing. MMA has been involved in faith-based, socially responsible investing for more than 60 years. The conviction to connect our faith and values with our investment decisions has come naturally, but has changed greatly over time.

Semi-annual report to shareholders
Portfolio managers’ letter
Economic growth during the first half of the year was below the 3 percent underlying growth rate many economists believe to be consistent with a stable unemployment rate. The main drag on growth was the weak housing market.
Inflation was generally moderate with core inflation up roughly 0.2 percent. Headline inflation was worse due to higher energy and food processing investments. Combined with a view that economic growth would not slow much below the 2 - 2.5 percent range, the market began to incorporate the notion that the Federal Reserve would remain on hold for an extended period. As a result, longer-term rates rose and short-term rates fell.
The yield curve shifted from inverted to a slightly upward sloping shape. The 10-year Treasury note rose 33 basis points (a basis point is .01 percent) while three-month Treasury bills fell 20 basis points. With rates at those levels, the market largely was incorporating a view that the Fed would be on hold for the rest of 2007.
There were two periods of rising volatility during the first half. The first was in late February through mid-March and the second was in June. Both were periods that saw swap and credit spreads widen. Swap spreads are essentially the yield premium AA rated banks pay for loaning money to each other. After the first risk flare, credit spreads tightened again, but swap spreads only partially recovered. In June, swap spreads widened again while credit gradually gave ground. The main reason for the June widening was rising awareness of the problems in the subprime mortgage market.
These periods of rising volatility impacted our portfolio moderately. Since the Fund’s managers had overweighted asset-backed, commercial mortgages-backed, and residential mortgages-backed securities, which are vulnerable to widening swap spreads, there was a modest drag on the Fund’s performance. On the other hand, the Fund held no subprime mortgages and all of the securitized assets were either AAA rated or FNMA or FHLMC backed securities.
The positive factors for the Fund were the fact that the Fund was short in duration relative to the Lehman Aggregate during most of the half, which helped as rates rose. Another positive was the absolute yield spread premium that the Fund has versus the benchmark. Finally, our position in Euro-denominated securities paid off as the dollar weakened.
On balance, the positives were not enough to fully offset the Fund’s expenses. As a result, the Fund underperformed the benchmark by 41 basis points for Class A shares.
Outlook
For the remainder of 2007, we expect economic growth of 2 - 2.5 percent and core inflation to remain in the 2 - 2.3 percent range. The Fed is unlikely to make any changes in the Fed funds rate unless there is a more serious spillover from the housing market than we anticipate.
We believe the two risk flares we have had are the first of several that will gradually push credit spreads wider as companies add increasing amounts of leverage and investors become less tolerant of risk. Up to this point, investors have clearly been underpricing risk. With a large amount of capital available, private equity funds are a major risk for holders of corporate credit. We have and will continue to seek protection from leveraged buyouts and other leveraging events.
This kind of environment is a difficult one and one in which our value contribution may well be our willingness to avoid risk to protect the principal and income of our investors. The positive for fixed income investors is that interest rates are at the highest absolute levels since 2002, which will be reflected in better income flows from the Fund.

Past performance does not guarantee future results. The performance data quoted represents past performance and current returns may be lower or higher. The investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed may be worth more or less than the original cost. These performance figures do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. To obtain performance information current to the most recent month end, please visit mmapraxis.com.
* | Reflects maximum front-end sales charge of 3.75%. | |
** | The Fund imposes a back-end sales charge (load) on Class B Shares if you sell your shares before a certain period of time has elasped. This is called a Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (“CDSC”). The CDSC declines over five years starting with year one and ending in year six as follows: 4%, 4%, 3%, 2%, 1%. |
Class A Share of this Fund were not in existence prior to 5/12/99. Class A Share performance calculated for any period prior to 5/12/99 is based on the performance of Class B Share since inception of 1/4/94. The B Share Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (CDSC) does not apply to performance over 5 years; therefore, the 10-year return does not reflect the CDSC.
The total return set forth reflects certain expenses that were voluntarily reduced, reimbursed or paid by third party. In such instances, and without this activity, total return would have been lower.

Portfolio managers’ letter
Market environment
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2007, the stock market, as measured by the Standard & Poor 500 Index increased by 6.96 percent. The sectors within the S&P that turned in the strongest performance were energy, material, and telecommunication service companies. The sectors that turned in the weakest performance were banking, diversified financial, real estate, and consumer discretionary companies.
MMA Praxis Core Stock Fund performance overview
For the six-months ended June 30, 2007, the Class A shares of MMA Praxis Core Stock Fund increased by 4.92 percent, compared to its benchmark, the S&P, which increased by 6.96 percent.
The Fund’s two largest sector holdings were in diversified financial and insurance companies. The Fund’s holdings in these two sectors did a little better than break even, thereby detracting from performance relative to the S&P. One diversified financial company, Ameriprise Financial, was among the top contributors to performance. Two diversified financial companies, Citigroup and Moody’s, and one insurance company, American International Group, were among the top detractors from performance.
The Fund also made a significant investment in consumer discretionary companies. The Fund’s consumer discretionary companies out-performed the corresponding sector within the S&P, but did not match the performance of the S&P, thereby detracting from relative performance. Amazon.com was among the top contributors to performance, while Harley-Davidson and Bed Bath & Beyond were among the top detractors from performance.
The banking sector was among the worst performing sectors of the S&P. While the Fund’s banking companies out-performed the corresponding sector within the S&P, the Fund’s performance was harmed by a higher relative weighting in this poorly performing sector. Wachovia Corp. was among the top detractors from performance.
The energy sector was the top performing sector of the S&P and was also the most important contributor to the Fund’s performance over the six-month period. ConocoPhillips, Devon Energy, EOG Resources, and Transocean were all among the top contributors to performance.
The Fund’s material companies out-performed both the corresponding sector within the S&P and out-performed the Index itself. The Fund also benefited from a higher relative weighting in this sector. Martin Marietta Materials and Vulcan Materials were among the top contributors to performance. Sealed Air was among the top detractors from performance.
Individual companies contributing to performance included Tyco International (an industrial company) and Costco Wholesale (a consumer staples company). Individual companies detracting from performance included Procter & Gamble (a consumer staples company), Iron Mountain (an information technology company), and UnitedHealth Group (a health care company).
Over the past six-months there were no changes to the companies making up the Fund’s top ten holdings. As of June 30, 2007, the Fund’s top ten holdings represented approximately 42 percent of total net assets.
The Fund managers have identified a number of investment opportunities in foreign companies. The Fund ended the period with approximately 8 percent of its assets invested in foreign companies. As a group, the foreign companies owned by the Fund out-performed the S&P over the period.

Past performance does not guarantee future results. The performance data quoted represents past performance and current returns may be lower or higher. The investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed may be worth more or less than the original cost. These performance figures do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. To obtain performance information current to the most recent month end, please visit mmapraxis.com.
* | Reflects maximum front-end sales charge of 5.25%. | |
** | The Fund imposes a back-end sales charge (load) on Class B Shares if you sell your shares before a certain period of time has elasped. This is called a Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (“CDSC”). The CDSC declines over five years starting with year one and ending in year six as follows: 4%, 4%, 3%, 2%, 1%. |
Class A Share of this Fund were not in existence prior to 5/12/99. Class A Share performance calculated for any period prior to 5/12/99 is based on the performance of Class B Share since inception of 1/4/94. The B Share Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (CDSC) does not apply to performance over 5 years; therefore, the 10-year return does not reflect the CDSC.
The total return set forth reflects certain expenses that were voluntarily reduced, reimbursed or paid by third party. In such instances, and without this activity, total return would have been lower.

Portfolio manager’s letter
Domestic equities surged higher during the first half of the year on a wave of acquisitions, stock buybacks, and leveraged buyouts. Strong demand for stocks in the face of a dwindling supply of public equity shares has combined with reasonably strong profits to impel stock prices higher.
As has been the case for several years, small- and mid-sized company stocks continued to lead larger company stocks, but in a reversal from the trend, the period saw growth style investing leading the value style. We have been expecting this reversal for some time now, but it remains to be seen whether returns will favor the growth style over a longer period, or if this is just a blip. Since June 30, 2000, the Standard & Poor/Citigroup Value Index opened a yawning gap of 78.6 percent over its growth counterpart, the Standard & Poor/Citigroup Growth Index. The growth indexes had a similar lead over value indexes at the height of the late 1990s stock market rally only to see their lead erased over a period of a few years. We don’t have a view on when or how much the growth style will catch up over the coming years, but we are firm believers in reversion to the mean which we believe will bring the returns to these investment styles more into balance over time.
The Praxis Value Index Fund (A shares) returned 4.57 percent during the first half of the year, which trailed the 6.75 percent return of the MSCI Prime Market Value Index (“MSCI Index”) benchmark. As we have described in past letters, the target index of the Fund is a custom value index that takes into account MMA’s unique stewardship investing screens. The Fund virtually matched the performance of this custom benchmark, meaning that the difference between the Fund and the MSCI Index was due almost solely to MMA’s screens. During the period, energy related stocks—particularly the so-called “super-major” oil companies—whose weight is underrepresented in the Fund relative to the MSCI Index, outperformed and consequently detracted from Fund performance. The Fund also has an overweight position in financial stocks that, as a group, lagged the overall market’s performance during the quarter. Again, this positioning—a byproduct of the screens—hindered Fund performance. We expect that depending upon the economic environment, screens will both aid and hinder the Fund’s performance over time.

Portfolio manager’s letter
United States equity markets continued their move upward during the first half of the year and the Fund participated in this performance since its launch on May 1, 2007. As we discussed in the MMA Praxis Value Index Fund commentary, the tide appears to have shifted in favor of the growth style of investing, but only time will tell if the trend has staying power. Since May 1, the Fund (Class A Share, NAV) has returned 1.70 percent, slightly trailing its benchmark, the MSCI U.S. Prime Growth Index, which generated a return of 2.24 percent for the same brief time.
The MMA Praxis Growth Index Fund is managed in the same fashion the MMA Praxis Value Index Fund has been over the last year or so, but with a focus on the growth style of investing. As a refresher, the Fund incorporates MMA’s stewardship investing process and screens just like the other equity funds in the MMA Praxis family. Portfolio construction is determined by a custom benchmark index maintained by MSCI, which is based on MMA’s screens. This custom index serves as the target index for the Fund, which typically owns fewer than the total number of securities in the custom index in order to minimize the costs associated with trading and owning additional securities while still maintaining the intrinsic characteristics of the custom benchmark.
The MSCI Prime Market Growth Index was chosen as the Fund’s public benchmark for several reasons, but primarily because we believe it is best at representing how active growth style investors actually manage portfolios. The index includes stocks drawn from the MSCI Prime Market 750 Index having characteristics most often associated with the growth style of investing. Its design leads to an accurate representation of the growth style of the market, as well as lower portfolio turnover than some of its peers, thus lowering trading expenses.
As with the MMA Praxis Value Index Fund, we expect the Fund to differ in return compared to the MSCI Prime Market Growth Index as a result of MMA’s screens, which will add to performance in some environments and will hinder Fund returns in others.

Portfolio manager’s letter
Global equity markets continued their strong run into 2007, with non-U.S. developed and emerging markets leading their domestic counterparts, growth besting value, and smaller caps generally topping larger caps.
Key and significant contributors to performance
On a relative basis, the major positive contributions came from the United Kingdom, Emerging Markets, specifically Latin America, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, and Canada. A strong theme for the period was companies that were related to mining, exploration, and refinement of commodities. The United Kingdom’s BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto, who are both involved in exploring, extracting, and processing minerals and metal resources, continued to strengthen sentiment of strong commodity prices on rumors of consolidation in the sector. This was also the case for the strongest contributor of our Emerging Market holdings Brazilian-based, Companhia Vale do Rio Doce, again a top 10 performer for the 6-month period. The company is the second largest mining operation in the world and the largest logistics operator in Brazil. Strength in commodity prices also benefited oil giants Royal Dutch Shell, BP, and Satoil, on the back of continued global oil price gains. In Emerging Markets, the portfolio’s second strongest contributor to return in terms of total effect came from Singapore’s Keppel Corp. Keppel is a world leader in the construction of off-shore oil and gas drilling rigs, for which demand is strong, and it also has interests in real estate construction and developments in Singapore, another strong contributor. Finally, Keppel has an added catalyst in the potential for development of more infrastructure projects, i.e. power, water, and waste water. For 2008, 58 percent of net profits are expected to come from oil rigs, 23 percent from property, 5 percent from infrastructure, and 13 percent from other investments. In Canada, the strongest contributor came from Yellow Pages Income Fund and BCE.
Among the notable individual stock contributors was France’s Michelin, the world’s largest tire manufacturer. Michelin benefited from its recent cost cutting programs and from an exceptionally supportive sales environment, especially in its heavy industrial tire manufacturing division. Other contributors in France included, Schneider Electric and materials mega group Compagnie de Saint-Gobain. ABN Amro, the Dutch bank, rose sharply early in the six-month period on takeover interest from Barclays. Nintendo continued to perform strongly based on the performance of its Wii gaming console and DS2 portable gaming device. The success of the Nintendo Wii has been due to the company’s strategy of disrupting the gaming market through the introduction of an innovative product that broadens the industry’s audience by bringing in non-traditional gamers.
On a sector basis, Consumer Discretionary, Health Care, Energy, and Information Technology were the highest contributors respectively for the six-month period.
Key and significant detractors from performance
Europe was the weakest region due largely to stock selections in Germany, Sweden, and Switzerland. In total effect terms, detractors in Europe included Finland’s Nokia, the world’s largest manufacturer of cell phones, and Germany’s real estate investment firm PATRIZIA Immobilien. In the case of Nokia, our underweight detracted from results as it was a strong performer for the six-month period. In Sweden and Switzerland, our underweight of what was largely a positive six-month period, detracted from results. In Japan, our underweight and stock selection in what was a stronger than expected region for the first half of 2007, hindered Fund performance. Japanese detractors included Financials, Orix Corp., and Bank of Yokohama; Chemical companies, Tokuyama Corp. and Hitachi; Pharmaceutical, Eisai Co.; Electronics, Sony; and Utilities giant, Tokyo Gas. Tokuyama Corp., a manufacturer of polysilicon, a necessary ingredient in solar panels that will continue to be in short supply, has been affected by higher input costs. Meanwhile, investors reacted negatively to conservative earnings guidance from the company. Tokyo Gas weakened when it predicted a 30 percent drop in operating profit for 2008.
On a sector basis, Materials, Utilities, Industrials, and Financials were the largest detractors for the period.

Strategy and outlook
The outlook for international equity markets, in our opinion, should continue to be highly influenced by events in the United States, where liquidity is being reduced. Although the sub-prime mortgage problems have been well chronicled, many other systemic problems are just starting to come into focus as liquidity flows slow. Currently, we have structured the portfolio to be consistent with this view. Systemic risks in the United States include the unknown risks from using mathematical models to price securities being actively traded, as well as the assumption that liquidity conditions will not change. In addition, there is the risk of “contagion.” In difficult markets, when poor quality holdings cannot be easily sold to meet redemptions, high quality positions may have to be sold instead. Thus, contagion can easily spread from the poorer to higher quality issues.
There are many types of investment pools that have been formed in recent years that are not transparent, that rely heavily on leveraged or borrowed funds, and that are not held to the same standards as other parts of the asset management industry. As we look ahead, we think aversion to risk may grow and markets may become more volatile. Energy costs are higher than had been expected at the beginning of 2007 and interest rates are increasing in many parts of the world. Earnings are still good, but the rate of improvement is decelerating. The U.S. consumer is getting squeezed and higher taxes may be just around the corner.
Finally, equity markets have already had quite a run over the last few years, especially in emerging markets and in the small cap sector. Given these warning signals, we believe the Fund is positioned prudently as an international equity alternative that is respectful of the risks in the market. It is structured for investors who want to diversify, but with lower risk levels. We believe it offers the potential for attractive relative returns.

Past performance does not guarantee future results. The performance data quoted represents past performance and current returns may be lower or higher. The investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed may be worth more or less than the original cost. These performance figures do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. To obtain performance information current to the most recent month end, please visit mmapraxis.com.
* | Reflects maximum front-end sales charge of 5.25%. | |
** | The Fund imposes a back-end sales charge (load) on Class B Shares if you sell your shares before a certain period of time has elasped. This is called a Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (“CDSC”). The CDSC declines over five years starting with year one and ending in year six as follows: 4%, 4%, 3%, 2%, 1%. |
Class A Share of this Fund were not in existence prior to 5/12/99. Class A Share performance calculated for any period prior to 5/12/99 is based on the performance of Class B Share since inception of 4/1/97. The B Share Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (CDSC) does not apply to performance over 5 years; therefore, the 10-year return does not reflect the CDSC.
The total return set forth reflects certain expenses that were voluntarily reduced, reimbursed or paid by third party. In such instances, and without this activity, total return would have been lower.

Portfolio manager’s letter
The MMA Praxis Small Cap Fund (A Shares) returned 2.9 percent versus the Russell 2000’s gain of 2.6 percent since the Fund’s inception on May 1, 2007. Over this short period of time, during which the market rose rapidly, we prudently invested the Fund’s initial cash position into a diversified portfolio of competitively advantaged companies.
The performance of the Russell 2000 during the second quarter continued to be driven by global economic growth. The Industrial, Technology, and Energy sectors added the most to returns, as global growth is clearly improving the fundamental outlook for these sectors. Financials and Utilities again were laggards. The flat yield curve has hindered profitability for the Financials sector and concerns about higher long-term rates and extended valuations have had a negative impact on the Utilities sector.
Sector allocation and stock selection added value to the Fund during the quarter. The Fund was overweight in Industrials and Energy, two of our strongest sectors, and underweight in Financials and Utilities, two of the weakest sectors. Our positive stock selection was broad based as each of our top five contributing stocks came from different sectors.
Our investment strategy is to identify competitively advantaged companies that generate strong financial returns with good reinvestment opportunities, and to purchase these stocks at attractive prices. We believe this strategy of investing in competitively advantaged companies with viable strategies to increase the value of their businesses, will continue to be beneficial for our investors. Our goal is to generate superior returns over time relative to our benchmark and to minimize the risk of the portfolio.

1. Organization:
The MMA Praxis Mutual Funds (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company established as a Delaware business trust under a Declaration of Trust dated September 27, 1993, as amended and restated December 1, 1993, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Trust currently consists of the MMA Praxis Intermediate Income Fund, the MMA Praxis Core Stock Fund, the MMA Praxis Value Index Fund, the MMA Praxis Growth Index Fund, the MMA Praxis International Fund and the MMA Praxis Small Cap Fund, (individually a “Fund”, collectively “the Funds”). These are also known as the Intermediate Income Fund, Core Stock Fund, Value Index Fund, Growth Index Fund, International Fund, and Small Cap Fund.
The Funds currently offer three classes of shares; Class A, Class B and Class I. Each class of shares in a Fund has identical rights and privileges except with respect to fees paid under the distribution and shareholder servicing agreements, voting rights on matters affecting a single class of shares and the exchange privileges of each class of shares.
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide general indemnification. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against a Fund. However, based on experience, the Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote.
2. | Significant Accounting Policies: |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities Valuation:
Securities are valued at market values determined on the basis of the latest available bid prices in the principal market (closing sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in which such securities are normally traded. Investments in investment companies are valued at their respective net asset values as reported by such companies. The differences between the cost and market values of investments are reflected as either unrealized appreciation or depreciation.
The Funds use various independent pricing services to value most of their investments. A pricing service would normally consider such factors as yield, risk, quality, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, special circumstances and other factors it deems relevant in determining valuations of normal institutional trading units of debt securities and would not rely exclusively on quoted prices. When fair valuing foreign securities held by the International Fund, certain pricing services might use computerized pricing models to systematically calculate adjustments to foreign security closing prices based on the latest market movements. Such pricing models utilize market data that has been obtained between the local market close and the NYSE close to compute adjustments to foreign security close prices. The methods used by the pricing service and the valuations so established will be reviewed by the Adviser under general supervision of the Funds’ Board of Trustees. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or are unreliable, are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith in accordance with consistently applied procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Money Market instruments and other debt securities with a remaining maturity of less than 60 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market.

Investments in restricted securities are valued by the Board of Trustees or valued pursuant to valuation procedures approved by the Board of Trustees (the “Valuation Procedures”). The Valuation Procedures contemplate the Board’s delegation of the implementation of the Valuation Procedures to the Adviser. In valuing restricted securities under the Valuation Procedures, the Adviser will consider (but is not limited to) certain specific and general factors enumerated in the Valuation Procedures. The Valuation Procedures require that the Adviser report to the Board at each of its regular quarterly meetings regarding valuation of restricted securities and actions taken in connection with the Valuation Procedures.
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” This standard establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to fair value measurements already required or permitted by existing standards. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The changes to current generally accepted accounting principles from the application of this Statement relate to the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value, and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. As of June 30, 2007, the Funds do not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will impact the amounts reported in the financial statements, however, additional disclosures may be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements and the effect of certain of the measurements reported on the statement of changes in net assets for a fiscal period.
Securities Transactions and Related Income:
Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Gains or losses realized on sales of securities are determined by comparing the identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the pro rata amortization of premium or accretion of discount. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based upon relative net assets or other appropriate basis.
Risks associated with Foreign Securities and Currencies:
Investments in securities of foreign issuers carry certain risks not ordinarily associated with investments in securities of domestic issuers. Such risks include adverse future political and economic developments and the possible imposition of exchange controls or other foreign governmental laws and restrictions. In addition, with respect to certain countries, there is the possibility of expropriation of assets, confiscatory taxation, political or social instability or diplomatic developments which could adversely affect investments in those countries.
Certain countries may also impose substantial restrictions on investments on their capital markets by foreign entities, including restriction on investment in issuers or industries deemed sensitive to the relevant nation’s interests. These factors may limit the investment opportunities available or result in lack of liquidity and high price volatility with respect to securities of issuers from developing countries.
Foreign Currency Translation:
The market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities of the Intermediate Income Fund, the Value Index Fund and the International Fund denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate at the close of each business day. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars based at the exchange rate on the date of the transaction.
The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized/unrealized gain (loss) from investments.
101
Table of Contents
MMA Praxis Mutual Funds
Notes to financial statements, continued
June 30, 2007 (Unaudited)
Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from the changes in the value of assets and liabilities including investments in securities at fiscal year end, resulting from changes in the exchange rate.
Forward Foreign Currency Contracts:
The International Fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts for the purchase or sale of specific foreign currencies at a fixed price on a future date. Risks may arise upon entering these contracts for the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. The International Fund will enter into forward contracts as a hedge against specific transactions or portfolio positions to protect against adverse currency movements. The forward foreign currency exchange contracts are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized until the contract settlement date, at which time the International Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.
As of June 30, 2007, the International Fund had the following forward foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding as follows:

EUR - Euro
JPY - Japanese Yen
Futures Contracts:
The Funds may invest in futures contracts (stock or bond index futures contracts or interest rate futures contracts) to hedge or manage risks associated with a Funds’ securities investments. To enter into a futures contract, an amount of cash and cash equivalents, equal to a certain percentage of the market value of the futures contracts, is deposited in a segregated account with the Fund’s Custodian and/or in a margin account with a broker to collateralize the position and thereby ensure that the use of such futures is unleveraged. Positions in futures contracts may be closed out only on an exchange that provides a secondary market for such futures. However, there can be no assurance that a liquid secondary market will exist for any particular futures contract at any specific time. Thus, it may not be possible to close a futures position. In the event of adverse price movements, a Fund would continue to be required to make daily cash payments to maintain its required margin. In such situations, if a Fund had insufficient cash, it might have to sell portfolio securities to meet daily margin requirements at a time when it would be disadvantageous to do so. In addition, a Fund might be required to make delivery of the instruments to underlying futures contracts it holds. The inability to close the futures position also could have an adverse impact on a Fund’s ability to hedge or manage risks effectively.
Successful use of futures by a Fund is also subject to MMA Capital Management’s (the “Adviser”) ability to predict movements correctly in the direction of the market. There is an imperfect correlation between movements in the price of the future and movements in the price of the securities that are the subject of the hedge. In addition, the price of futures may not correlate perfectly with movement in the cash market due to certain market distortions. Due to the possibility of price distortion in the futures market and because of the imperfect correlation between the movements in the cash market and movements in the
102

Notes to financial statements, continued
June 30, 2007 (Unaudited)
price of futures, a correct forecast of general market trends or interest rate movements by the Adviser may still not result in a successful hedging transaction over a short time frame.
Most futures exchanges limit the amount of fluctuation permitted in futures contract prices during a single trading day. The daily limit establishes the maximum amount that the price of a futures contract may vary either up or down from the previous day’s settlement price at the end of a trading session. Once the daily limit has been reached in a particular type of contract, no trades may be made on that day at a price beyond the limit. The daily limit governs only price movement during a particular trading day and therefore does not limit potential losses, because the limit may prevent the liquidation of unfavorable positions. Futures contract prices have occasionally moved to the daily limit for several consecutive trading days with little or no trading, thereby preventing prompt liquidation of futures positions and subjecting some futures to substantial losses.
The trading of futures contracts is also subject to the risk of trading halts, suspensions, exchange or clearing house equipment failures, government intervention, insolvency of a brokerage firm or clearing house or other disruptions of normal trading activity, which could at times make it difficult or impossible to liquidate existing positions or to recover excess variation margin payments.
Swap Agreements:
The Funds may enter into event-linked swaps, including credit default swaps. The credit default swap market allows a Fund to manage credit risk through buying and selling credit protection on specific names or a basket of names. The transactions are documented through swap documents. A “buyer” of credit protection agrees to pay a premium to a counterparty to assume the credit risk of an issuer upon the occurrence of certain events. The “seller” of credit protection receives a premium from a counterparty and agrees to assume the credit risk of an issuer upon the occurrence of certain events.
Securities Lending:
In order to generate additional income, each Fund may, from time to time, subject to its investment objectives and policies, lend its portfolio securities to broker-dealers, banks, or institutional borrowers of securities pursuant to agreements requiring that the loans be secured by collateral equal in value to 100% of the value of the securities loaned. Collateral for loans of portfolio securities must consist of: (1) cash in U.S. dollars, to be invested in the Northern Institutional Liquid Asset Portfolio, (2) obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury or by any agency or instrumentality of the U.S. Government, or (3) irrevocable, non-transferable, stand-by letters of credit issued by banks domiciled or doing business within the U.S. and meeting certain credit requirements at the time of issuance. This collateral will be valued daily by the Adviser. Should the market value of the loaned securities increase, the borrower is required to furnish additional collateral to that Fund.
During the time portfolio securities are on loan, the borrower pays the Fund any dividends or interest received on such securities. Loans are subject to termination by the Fund or the borrower at any time. While the Fund does not have a right to vote on securities on loan, each Fund intends to terminate the loan and regain the right to vote if that is considered important with respect to the investment. While the lending of securities may subject a Fund to certain risks, such as delays or an inability to regain the securities in the event the borrower were to default or enter into bankruptcy, each Fund will have the contract right to retain the collateral described above.
The Northern Trust Company serves as the Securities Lending Agent. For providing this service, the Securities Lending Agent retains 40% of the securities lending income. The securities lending income is

shown net of fees on the Statement of operations. For the period ended June 30, 2007, the Funds had securities on loan as follows:

Community Development Investments:
Consistent with the investment criteria for socially responsible investing, the Board of Trustees of the Funds has authorized the Funds to make certain types of community development investments. In connection with the community development investments, the Funds have received from the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) an exemptive order that would permit each of the Funds to invest a limited portion of their respective net assets in securities issued by an affiliate of MMA Capital Management (the “Adviser”), MMA Community Development Investments, Inc. (“MMA CDI”). MMA CDI is a not-for-profit corporation that was organized specifically to promote community development investing and it seeks to fund its efforts primarily through the sale to investors of interests in certain investment pools that it has established (the “CDI-Notes”). Assets raised through offerings of CDI-Notes are then invested directly in non-profit and not-for-profit community development organizations. Each Fund, in accordance with guidelines established by the Board of Trustees and in compliance with the SEC’s exemptive order, would be permitted to invest up to 3% of its net assets in CDI-Notes. CDI-Notes have certain specific risk factors associated with them. These types of investments offer a rate of return below the prevailing market rate at acquisition and are considered illiquid, unrated and below-investment grade. They also involve a greater risk of default or price decline than investment-grade securities. However, these investments have been determined by the Board of Trustees as being a beneficial way to carry out each Fund’s goals for stewardship investing at the community level. In addition, these investments are valued in accordance with procedures approved by the Board of Trustees.
Dividends and Distributions:
Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid monthly for the Intermediate Income Fund. Dividends from the net investment income are declared and paid semi-annually for the Core Stock Fund, the Value Index Fund, the Growth Index Fund, the International Fund, and the Small Cap Fund. Distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually.
The amounts of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification.
Federal Income Taxes:
It is each Fund’s policy to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, and to distribute timely all of its net investment company taxable income and net capital gains to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Under the applicable foreign tax law, a withholding tax may be imposed on interest, dividends and capital gains

earned on foreign investments at various rates. Where available, the International Fund will file for claims on foreign taxes withheld.
Other:
Expenses that are directly related to a Fund are charged directly to that Fund. Other operating expenses of the Trust are prorated to each Fund on the basis of relative net assets to the Trust or another reasonable basis. Expenses specific to a class are charged directly to that class.
Each Fund maintains a cash balance with its Custodian and receives a reduction of its custody fees and expenses for the amount of interest earned on such uninvested cash balance. For financial reporting purposes for the six months ended June 30, 2007, there were no custodian fees and expenses reduced by the Custodian. There was no effect on net investment income. If the Funds had received a reduction of custody fees and expenses, the Funds could have invested such cash amounts in an income-producing asset if they had not agreed to a reduction of fees or expenses under the expense offset arrangement with their Custodian.
The Funds will charge a redemption fee of 2.00% of the total redemption amount if you sell or exchange your shares after holding them for less than 30 days subject to certain exceptions and limitations described in the prospectus.
3. Purchases and Sales of Securities:
Purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term debt securities having maturities one year or less and U.S. Government Securities) for the period ended June 30, 2007 were as follows:

4. Related Party Transactions:
Menno Insurance Service, Inc. d/b/a MMA Capital Management, (the “Adviser”) (a separate corporate entity controlled by Mennonite Mutual Aid, Inc.), provides investment advisory services to the Funds. Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Adviser is entitled to receive fees based on a percentage of the average daily net assets of each of the Funds as follows: 0.50% for the Intermediate Income Fund; 0.74% for the Core Stock Fund; 0.30% for the Value Index Fund; 0.30% for the Growth Index Fund; 0.90% for the International Fund and 0.85% for the Small Cap Fund. Evergreen Investment Management Company, LLC, serves as the sub-adviser to the International Fund.

On July 13, 2006, the FASB released FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Funds’ tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. Management has determined that the Funds have no uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2007.

Proxy Voting:
The Adviser and Sub-Adviser are responsible for exercising the voting rights associated with the securities purchased and held by the Funds. A description of the policies and procedures that the Adviser and Sub-Adviser use in fulfilling this responsibility and information regarding how those proxies were voted during the twelve month period ended June 30 are available (i) without charge, upon request, by calling (800) 977-2947; and (ii) on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“commission’s”) Web site at http://www.sec.gov.
Quarterly Portfolio Disclosure:
The Trust files a complete listing of the Schedules of portfolio investments for each Fund as of the end of the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. The complete listing (i) is available on the Commission’s Web site, (ii) may be reviewed and copied at the Commission’s Public Reference Room in Washington, DC; and (iii) will be made available to shareholders upon request by calling (800) 977-2947. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling (800) SEC-0330.
The Statement of Additional Information contains more information about the Funds and can be obtained free of charge by calling (800) 977-2947.
Expense Comparison:
As a shareholder of the MMA Praxis Mutual Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases, reinvested dividends, or other distributions; redemption fees; and exchange fees; (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service 12b-1 fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the MMA Praxis Mutual Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2007 through June 30, 2007.
Actual Expenses:
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes:
The table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each MMA Praxis Mutual Fund’s expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the

INFORMATION FOR SHAREHOLDERS REGARDING APPROVAL OF THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT WITH MMA CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
At an in-person meeting held on February 19, 2007, the Board of Trustees of the Trust approved the Investment Advisory Agreement between Menno Insurance Service, Inc., d/b/a MMA Capital Management, and each of MMA Praxis Growth Index Fund and MMA Praxis Small Cap Fund, for an initial term. The Trustees requested and received from MMA Capital Management information relating to the Investment Advisory Agreement. They considered information relating to the Investment Advisory Agreement at in-person meetings held on November 20, 2006, February 18, 2007 and February 19, 2007, and at a special telephonic meeting held on January 15, 2007. In concluding that it was in the best interests of the Funds and their shareholders to approve the Investment Advisory Agreement for each Fund, the Board, including a majority of those Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Funds or MMA Capital Management

(the “Independent Trustees”) advised by independent legal counsel, gave weight to the following factors, among others:
Nature, Quality and Extent of Services
The Trustees discussed the nature, quality and extent of services MMA Capital Management would provide to the Funds. Among other things, the Trustees reviewed their findings regarding MMA Capital Management from the November 20, 2006 meeting in connection with the renewal of the Advisory Agreement for the other MMA Praxis Mutual Funds. The Trustees also reviewed the specific services that MMA Capital Management would provide to the Growth Index Fund and Small Cap Fund, and the resources supporting those services. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, quality and extent of services to be provided to the Funds by MMA Capital Management.
Investment Performance of the Funds and MMA
The Trustees reviewed each Fund’s investment objective and strategies, including its SRI processes and philosophies. The Board concluded that it would monitor investment performance of each Fund once the Funds had commenced investment operations.
Costs of Services and Profitability of MMA and Affiliates
The Trustees reviewed information and data regarding the estimated costs of providing the advisory services to the Funds and the estimated profits to be realized by MMA Capital Management and its affiliates from their relationship with the Funds. Representatives of MMA Capital Management addressed the Trustees’ questions regarding guidelines for manager selection, payment of platform fees, revenue sharing arrangements and expense waivers and reimbursements. In their review of the estimated expenses, the Trustees considered MMA Capital Management’s fees, as well as other Fund expenses, such as transfer agent fees, custodial, legal and audit fees. The Trustees also noted the estimated effects of MMA Capital Management’s voluntary expense waivers and expense reimbursements on fee and expense levels. As part of their review, the Trustees considered the expense information by Fund compared to peer group information. The Trustees also reviewed the fee structures and other information provided by MMA Capital Management regarding its services to other clients. The Board concluded that the costs of the services provided to the Funds by MMA Capital Management were fair.
Economies of Scale
The Trustees considered the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Funds grow and whether the investment advisory fee rates reflect those economies of scale for the benefit of the Funds’ shareholders. MMA Capital Management represented to the Trustees that MMA Capital Management would consider appropriate breakpoints as the Funds grow in size. The Board concluded that asset levels did not justify breakpoints at this time.
Other Benefits
The Trustees discussed the extent to which MMA Capital Management and its affiliates might derive other benefits, including soft dollar credits or other similar benefits from MMA Capital Management’s relationship with the Funds. Discussion ensued regarding other potential benefits to MMA Capital Management and its affiliates from their relationship with the Funds, and the Board concluded that such benefits were not material.

person meetings held on November 20, 2006, February 18, 2007 and February 19, 2007, and at a special telephonic meeting held on January 15, 2007. In concluding that it was in the best interests of the Small Cap Fund and its shareholders to approve the Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees advised by independent legal counsel, gave weight to the following factors, among others:
Nature, Quality and Extent of Services
The Trustees considered the nature, quality and extent of services Luther King Capital Management would provide to the Small Cap Fund. Among other things, the Trustees considered MMA Capital Management’s assessment of Luther King Capital Management’s investment management capabilities based upon due diligence conducted by MMA Capital Management. The Trustees also considered Luther King Capital Management’s portfolio managers, resources, compliance program and best execution practices. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, quality and extent of services to be provided to the Small Cap Fund by Luther King Capital Management.
Investment Performance of the Small Cap Fund and Luther King Capital Management
The Trustees reviewed the Small Cap Fund’s investment objective and strategies, including its SRI processes and philosophies. The Board concluded that it would monitor investment performance of the Small Cap Fund once it had commenced investment operations.
Costs of Services and Profitability of Luther King Capital Management and Affiliates
The Trustees considered the costs of the services provided by Luther King Capital Management to the Small Cap Fund. The Trustees discussed the comparative fee information provided by Luther King Capital Management. The Board concluded that the costs of the services to be provided to the Small Cap Fund were fair.
Economies of Scale
The Trustees acknowledged Luther King Capital Management’s representation that the contractual fee rate incorporates economies of scale. The Board concluded that the rate is in line with the comparative fee information provided.
Other Benefits
The Trustees considered the extent to which Luther King Capital Management or its affiliates would derive other benefits, including soft dollar credits or other similar benefits, from Luther King Capital Management’s relationship with the Small Cap Fund. Discussion then ensued regarding Luther King Capital Management’s soft dollar practices. The Board concluded that Luther King Capital Management did not derive material benefits, other than its sub-advisory fees and traditional soft-dollar benefits, from its relationship with the Small Cap Fund.
